About the race
Santa Pur-suit 2026 is the 13th annual festive run held in Kitchener-Waterloo on November 21, 2026, at Weber Street South and Erb Street East (101 Frederick St, Kitchener, ON). The event is held on the parade route prior to the Kitchener-Waterloo Santa Claus Parade.
Distances offered:
- 3 km includes entries with a supplied Santa suit or with a suit from a previous year.
- 1 km untimed fun run with options that include a supplied Santa suit or use of an existing suit.
All participants who register for a suit receive a full Santa Suit that consists of a jacket, pants, hat, beard and belt, and the entire Santa Suit must be worn during the event. Participants not wearing the full suit will be removed from further participation without refund. Participants who keep their suit for future years are eligible for a reduced entry fee when they use that suit in following events.
There is a free sub-event called Future Runner for strollers and their passengers; strollers must be registered and must be accompanied by a participant entered in a different sub-event. Kit pickup for all participants takes place at Runners’ Choice on the two days before the event. Refunds are not available; deferrals and transfers are outlined in the event waiver and registration policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
